Afternoon Nap

Mount Olympus draws my attention every time I am near. She has inspired many sketches and much dreaming, and one day I'm going to walk the 16 miles of rainforest to arrive at her base and start climbing. This print makes me think of 19th century women mountaineering in their long woolen skirts.

This print was hand-pulled using water-soluble, environmentally responsible inks.

After making an initial drawing, I hand-carve a linoleum block. I then squeeze ink out onto my palette, roll it onto the block using a hard paint-roller tool, and then carefully press the paper down onto the block. After the ink layer dries (2 to 7 days), I carefully repeat the process for each subsequent layer of colour.

Each print is unique and there will be slight variations within the edition – that’s part of the charm of linocut printmaking. You can see the hand of the artist in every print.

Print will arrive at your door in a professionally cut, 8” x 10” mat, making it very easy to pop into a standard sized frame. Your print comes with a stiff backing mat as well, so you can display it straightaway, without a frame.

Your print will be mailed in a protective cellophane bag, with a sturdy cardboard insert, so it arrives in top condition.
